During the closure, traffic will be detoured to 84th Street Northeast and SR 9.

“We know folks will have a longer commute during construction, but their patience will be rewarded when these safety improvements are completed before students return to school,” said Janice Fahning, WSDOT project engineer.

As this area has developed, traffic has increased along this stretch of SR 92 which currently sees between 16,500 and 21,000 drivers a day. With no signals, it can be a challenge for people to enter the highway from 99th Avenue Northeast or 113th Avenue Northeast. Roundabouts will eliminate the stop-and-go traffic at intersections while reducing the risk and severity of collisions.
